In his 69th Merdeka message, Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow called upon Malaysians to uphold the spirit of independence by preserving the state's tradition of embracing unity in diversity. Despite the differences among its people, Chow emphasized that the strength of Penang lies in its diversity, which has been a result of the state's independence.
He urged Penangites to maintain this virtue as a constant reminder of the true meaning of independence and to protect the harmony that has allowed the state to face various challenges since 1957.
Chow highlighted that unity has shielded Penang from the consequences of the country's changes since 1957 and enabled the state to focus on improving the quality of life for its inhabitants. He pointed out that through unity, Penang has achieved remarkable success in industrialization and technological mastery, despite its relatively small size. The state has also become a hub for innovation and tourism.
Chow stressed the importance of strong moral values in Penang's rapid development to ensure that the people can enjoy the benefits of unity. He reminded everyone that, despite their different faces and tales, they are one in their desire for what is best for the state and future generations.
